BIM Remote Collaboration: New Ways to Simplify Project Management

Challenges in cross-discipline BIM remote collaboration

Addressing issues in construction remote collaboration

For managers now tasked with coordinating mega-projects from home offices and living rooms, the challenges can be draining. They’re faced with new workflow issues, keeping teams on schedule, and even employee engagement problems when everyone’s feeling isolated. Challenges like:

• Drawing out the best of your engineering team talent when the only interaction is virtual
• Making efficient site-based decisions when you can’t all physically be there together in the space
• Avoiding rework later from missed problems when you’re dependent on sharing files on a screen
• Coordinating people with widely varying technical experience when everyone’s interacting remotely

Although BIM remote collaboration creates potential for smoother workflows, not every construction professional has access to the software. Even project director and manager level positions are often dependent on their BIM managers to provide access and review 3D models. 

Steps to simplify BIM remote collaboration

Construction project management teams need 3D model access and fly-through capabilities to review progress, solve problems and keep schedules on target. Having access to do this without waiting for the help of their BIM professionals can simplify and streamline workflows. 

Provide a user-friendly interface: Implementing SuperViz real-time features is one option to simplify BIM remote collaboration. It’s a platform that allows you to develop a solution with meetings inside your 3D models for your management team, contractors, vendors and other stakeholders.

Decrease time spent waiting for files: Instead of relying on emailed pdfs or waiting to schedule meetings with BIM managers, specific access can be granted to team members to view, move around in and meet inside models.

Streamline access: Once your model is set up, it takes only a couple clicks to create a link that team members use to enter the project. Meet with others inside the model using integrated video conferencing, with instant access to a full suite of tools for the design and construction industries.

Developing a SuperViz powered application is a straightforward solution for meeting with stakeholders who have little to no technical expertise. The 3D model is accessed through their browsers with no downloads or software needed.

Once inside SuperViz powered virtual space, navigation is intuitive and easy. The only thing participants need to do is click the link you share with them and enter the meeting.
